Currently
a detective with Harbour City's 57th Precinct, in the Helsborten Flats
district, Toshi is a third generation policeman and a former motorcycle
patrolman. On the job, he's brave, dedicated, thorough, and compulsively
overeager.. this last having garnered him both a reputation for recklessness,
and a trail of disciplinary paperwork that would stretch almost from the
Piers to the Harbour City Seadogs stadium.

Off the job,
his personal life is a train wreck scattered with the mangled remains
of shattered relationships, familial difficulties and money woes. He recently
was evicted from his shabby apartment in Old Harbour City because of complaints
to the board of health about the condition of the building caused it to
be condemmed.

Toshi supplements
his income by sponging dinners off his friends and occasionally working
as a bouncer - something he is suprisingly good at despite his small frame
and cheerful demeanor. A combination of street smarts and unexpected innocence,
coupled with a volatile and passionate heart, Toshi is by turns infuriating
and irresistable to the people around him.

His ready
smile hides an inner self pockmarked by drinking problems, one night stands
and tragedy, but his natural resilience and positive nature keep him from
descending completely into darkness, and often brightens up the lives
of his companions.
